Thankful

Songbirds in the trees
Multicolored leaves
Musical melodies

Laughing with my dad
Talking with my mom
Joking with my brother

The emotion that words bring
Fragmented beams of sun
Mundane memories

Soft pajama pants
A warm bed
A cat purring

The smell of an old book
Steam from a warm drink
Rain on the window

Blueberry conditioner
My favorite T-shirt
Freshly washed hair

Favorite foods
A family gathered
Overlapped talking

Friendship bracelets
Summer heat
Gravel crunching

Brand new yarn
An audiobook
Lost in the work

Worn out desks
Empty notebooks
Learning new things

Sharp scents
Colored water
A brand new look

Inside jokes
Unlikely friends
I've never actually met

And I think today
What I'm thankful for
Is how it feels to be alive
